The Mount St. Helens Institute is currently recruiting volunteers to serve in a variety of conservation and science education projects. Volcano Volunteers (trained interpreters) can be placed for days, weeks or months beginning in April, 2009. Mountain Stewards (climbing and recreation volunteers) serve as support for climbers, MSHI recreation/science classes and for the Sunday Hiking Program and assist with trail maintenance. Conservation projects need 1 and 2 day volunteers to provide trail and facilities maintenance to preserve and promote access to Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. The Institute relies on volunteers for most of its projects and courses. Visit our website for more information: www.mshinstitute.org or Email info@mshinstitute.org.
